Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A vulnerability has been found in Mercury KM08-708H GiGA WiFi Wave2 1.1. Affected by this issue is the function sub_450B2C of the file /goform/mcr_setSysAdm. The manipulation of the argument ChgUserId leads to buffer overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Buffer overflow vulnerability in Mercury KM08-708H GiGA WiFi Wave2 router's web management interface. The sub_450B2C function in /goform/mcr_setSysAdm processes the ChgUserId parameter without proper bounds checking, allowing remote attackers to overflow a buffer by providing an overly long user ID string. The public disclosure of the exploit increases exploitation likelihood.

MitigationApply vendor firmware update if available; otherwise, disable remote web management access, restrict admin interface to trusted networks only, or consider replacing the device with a currently supported model.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify device model and firmware version
    Access the router's web management interface and check the system status or device info page for the exact model number (KM08-708H GiGA WiFi Wave2) and firmware version. Alternatively, check the label on the device itself or use SNMP queries if available.
    Affected if The device is a Mercury KM08-708H GiGA WiFi Wave2 router and the firmware version cannot be confirmed as patched (no patch version information available).
  2. Verify web management interface is enabled
    Attempt to access the router's web interface via HTTP/HTTPS on the default management port (typically 80 or 443). Check router configuration for remote management settings.
    Affected if The web management interface is accessible, particularly from untrusted networks.
  3. Confirm the vulnerable endpoint exists
    Send a request to the /goform/mcr_setSysAdm endpoint. This can be done by examining the router's firmware (if accessible) or by testing with a benign request. Look for the ChgUserId parameter processing functionality.
    Affected if The /goform/mcr_setSysAdm endpoint handles the ChgUserId parameter without proper length validation.
  4. Check for exposure to untrusted networks
    Review the router's access control settings to determine if the web management interface is reachable from the WAN/Internet or only from the LAN/Trusted networks.
    Affected if The admin interface is exposed to untrusted networks or the Internet.

You are affected if you are using a Mercury KM08-708H GiGA WiFi Wave2 router with the web management interface accessible, particularly from untrusted networks, and the /goform/mcr_setSysAdm endpoint with ChgUserId parameter is present without known patched firmware.
